RFK: "They've created stagnant societies. That and do one- two things: hatred and war and victimization." Brain worms seem to have eaten his capability to count to the Arabic numeral three.

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

The global pro-democracy, anti-fascist movement just notched two major wins today, after Students List in Serbia ousted strongman Aleksandar Vučić and Brazilian President Lula defeated the son of the man behind Brazil’s Jan 6 to win reelection! In 9 days, U.S. next!

Of all the things that never happened, this never happened the most. We have to have signed consent forms for them to administer a band-aid, and a doctor's note for Tylenol.

Trump: "They want to cut your children. It's unbelievable what they do. Your son leaves as Jimmy and comes home in three days as Janet, and they don't even ask you. They can take your child out of school and do whatever the hell they want. Minnesota is one of those states."

Unfortunately, the venn diagram of the demographic that wouldn't even notice their kid is missing for three days and the demographic that wants to believe this and be angry is a circle.

I'm not shocked, WotC, I'm just disappointed.

Yesterday, Wizards informed us that it doesn’t intend to voluntarily recognize the D&D or Studio X units of our union ahead of a vote. We remain committed to creating a workplace focused on wellness, transparency, and collaboration by winning our coming election.

We've seen what MAGA has done with control of Congress. This is exactly the kind of thing we can do with a blue Congress in January. And I. Am. Here. For. It.

Every person dead, every family separated, every community terrorized, and every dissenter targeted and persecuted. There’s more than a million reasons to dismantle DHS.

You expect us to just gloss over the fact that "defense contractors named after artifacts from LotR" are 2 for 2 on the fascism-funding front? Building AI-powered, military-grade weapons is bad from every conceivable angle.

$3.7 BILLION in investment. 14,000 jobs. Welcome to Baltimore County, Anduril!

I thought you were someone who stood up to Trump and his cronies, not someone who rolled out the red carpet for them. Adding new jobs and economic development sounds great, but this is not the way.

There are 56 new uncommon Legendary Creatures in Reality Fracture. I have been known for playing uncommon Commanders. Like Eutropia and Grumgully. These are some of the uncommon Legendary Creatures from Reality Fracture that sound interesting to me. Which ones do you like? #MTGFracture

As much as Congress is supposed to represent the will of the people, those in power inevitably make decisions based on the impacts they will feel personally. We need younger folks in Congress bc having more than a 10-year remaining life expectancy leads to making decisions that benefit more of us.

New in PN: Retire in peace "McConnell would never be allowed to drive a car, babysit young children, or file his own taxes. Why, then, should a cognitively incapacitated 82-year-old retain one of the most important positions of power within the national government?"

Maybe "all people are selfish" is a bit cynical, but it's not an invalid reason to want to be governed by people with more skin in the game the rest of us are playing.

I'll never be able to see this card the same way again. I was not prepared to see that level of devastation in a real life video. Content warning for the quoted post: devastating mudslide and flash flood.

A massive flash flood in the Himalayan border areas of Nepal and ‌China's Tibet. Initial report say it may have been caused by a glacial lake rupture.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo literally helped build this nation. He did nothing wrong but build American homes, raise American kids, and pursue the American Dream. He should be alive. 1/

Let's fucking go!

United Wizards of the Coast - CWA@uwotc-official.bsky.social

Today is a momentous day for the workers of Arena! After months of planning, waiting and organizing, our dream is finally a reality; the votes have been counted, and our union of UWOTC-CWA has been officially elected. From this day forward, we have a union!

Fuck generative AI. Like this. Fuck AI in precisely this manner.

Millions of copyrighted songs were fed to AI music generators - now there's proof Suno and rivals are being sued for $150k per song. A sum that would bankrupt these companies and set an important precedent.

Wizards of the Coast being transphobic to their staff during pride month? And they wonder why they're fighting for a union. Solidarity forever with @uwotc-official.bsky.social ✊

Valentine Powell@valentineirl.bsky.social

So after openly deadnaming all our trans folks last week, leadership apologized, but then did not update employee's names for the vote today. This means our trans employees are being forced to openly deadname themselves in order to vote in today's union election. This is deeply fucked.

It's a huge problem for the Republican Party that you take one look at the men they run for elected office and just know that they couldn't name a single dragon spirit from Champions of Kamigawa.

Supporting UWOTC-CWA by wearing red on my first day back to the gym in forever

Happy International Worker's Day! Today, we hope to hear from WOTC and Hasbro on whether they will voluntarily recognize our union. Going to MagicCon? Show support by wearing red on Saturday. Can't go? Send us a picture of you in red instead! Keep the signatures coming! cwa.org/uwotcletter

RFK Jr: "A Democratic senator claimed it's mathematically impossible to have a drug drop by 600%. I said, 'Well, if the drug was $100 and it raises to $600, that would be a 600% rise. If it drops from $600 to $100, that's a 600% savings.'" Trump: "Right"

Picked Witherbloom for the #mtgsos #prerelease today and my box was cracked. Went 3-1, losing only due to flooding into the mirror match.

How is a person supposed to focus on anything when you wake up to the President of the United States trumpeting threats to commit a mass atrocity against an entire people within 24 hours?

Happy Trans Day of Visibility. I'm routinely inspired by the courage our trans brothers and sisters have to be authentic despite societal hostility and discrimination. Everyone deserves the right to self-determine, to self-express, and to love as they choose. Trans rights are human rights. #TDOV

Not only that, but the visible joy that exudes from someone being honest and free is contagious. 11/10 recommend supporting a trans friend. Literally a win-win situation.

Funding anti-trans efforts through JKR via anything HP-related is a choice I will never make. Unfortunately, funding anti-trans efforts through the US gov't via my tax dollars isn't something I'm legally allowed to just choose not to do.

I vote and I try to speak up when I can. I hope and strive for a better future for all, where my tax dollars are used to help rather than harm.

Dark money has ruined the modern political landscape and undermined public trust. I don't live in IL-09, but if you do, vote Kat.

Kat Abughazaleh@katmabu.bsky.social

Dark money groups are paying influencers to spread attacks about our campaign. Voters deserve to know who is trying to manipulate our election.

This shit is blasphemous and makes me so unbelievably furious. They're literally, unironically, and deliberately attempting to bring about the end of the world. I'm not sure we can "just wait for the November midterms." This entire christofascist regime needs to go. Now.
